This is a district approved social networking site. Our schools (RAE and JEE) are set up so that only students and teachers at our campus can view student and teacher websites within think.com. Since students can and do access this from home as well as from school, via the internet, think.com requires parental consent. Students also need an introductory lesson when beginning. This lesson emphasizes internet safety and the rules governing the use of think.com. Students who don't comply risk losing their access.
Teachers contact the ITF if interested in setting up a teacher account. Once they are ready for their class to start, they arrange this with the ITF as well.
The consent form implies that parents have read the terms of use and privacy policy. Teachers can show students/parents how to do this at the think.com site (preferred), or send these:
